The first shot is about 3-4 in. higher at 100 yd than the group fired with a fouled barrel. The rest of the group is clustered into a neat 2" with open sights. I'm shooting 120 gr. of 2f 777. The gun is 3" high at 100 yd, dead on at 150 yd.I've tried lower powder charges, but my groups start getting flyers. I'm getting suchgood consistent groups with my load I hate to start changing things at this point. I suppose I could hold a little low on the first shot if it's 100 yd. or less. I've thought of firing a fouling shot, but after a week, I'd beconcerned about corrosion.
